FABRICLIVE 08

Plump DJs

Lee Rous and Andy Gardner were introduced to one another by mutual friend and full-time Freestyler, Matt Cantor. Inspired by a dodgy, top-shelf mag they named their venture and in 1998 released their debut EP 'Y2K: Chunky Plumps'. Less than five years later they have amassed an astounding underground following and met the mainstream through remixes and advertising projects. The Plump DJs have built a reputation for electrifying DJ sets, playing intimate spaces and large venues worldwide. At the forefront of the breakbeat scene they have been tipped to transcend their dancefloor roots. Ahead of their debut full-length album in June, The Plumps create the eighth release in the FABRICLIVE series, blending their skills as DJs and Producers. Staying true to a scene that relies upon self-made tracks and remix swaps, all cuts are treated, edited, stripped and rebuilt.

"We used two turntables, two Akia 6000s and even Pro Tools' 'Edit Suite' towards the end. The whole of Laborotois Plump basically! We made two tunes from scratch especially for the compilation whilst we were putting it together and we've done DJ versions of the various tunes we used as we went along." Plump DJs
